"Withdraw, the rebels withdraw!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted among the forbidden troops on the front of the South Study.

Countless soldiers who had already been stained red with blood and blackened by the smoke of gunpowder hugged each other and celebrated loudly, and more soldiers were vented in their hearts, and their overdrawn bodies suddenly could no longer support them, and they collapsed directly to the ground.

Without Xiao Jinwu's backup, the forbidden army was at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning, not only several defense lines were broken one after another, but even the commander-in-chief of the front line was killed on the spot.

Although the promise made by King Yu after his ascension to the throne did make some waves, it was at best a shot in the arm in the midst of the collapse of the war, which could only temporarily delay death, but could not reverse the situation.

There are still miracles in this world after all, at least the soldiers of the forbidden army think so.

Just when the defense line was almost about to be breached, and everyone was desperate in their hearts, first the left guard of the Chinese army suddenly withdrew from the battlefield for some reason, and then the remaining rebels of the Liao King also began to retreat slowly.

This deep palace battle actually came to an end temporarily in such a dramatic way.

On the handsome platform temporarily built with sand and stone in front of the south study, Prince Bao looked at the back of the departing rebels of the King of Liao in a daze, and did not order the pursuit, but looked at Huang Zhengyuan beside him in shock.

"You already knew that the Liao King would withdraw his troops?"

Huang Zhengyuan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Please also ask Your Highness to reorganize the army as soon as possible, there may be a fierce battle later!" ”

Prince Bao frowned and said, "What is going on outside, why did King Liao withdraw his troops at this juncture?" ”

Huang Zhengyuan still didn't answer positively, but said with a solemn expression: "Tianqiwei has not yet rushed to the palace to help the war, I'm afraid Xu Rui has already had a different heart, Your Highness, our troubles are far from over." ”

Prince Bao's face changed when he heard this: "You mean that Xu Rui has rebelled, will he lead the troops to rebel?" ”

Huang Zhengyuan shook his head: "Xia Guan can't guess what he will do next, but even if we don't care about Xu Rui, we are not restless, the King of Liao is only temporarily retreating at the moment, and he will not give up, and the decisive battle is inevitable." ”

Prince Bao's face completely darkened: "The Holy Army's army is too small, and now there is no Heavenly Apocalypse Guard, if according to what you said, the King of Liao may go and return, how can this palace be able to hold it?" ”

Huang Zhengyuan glanced at Prince Bao lightly and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have sent someone to secretly take over the Beijing army, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, and then I will have to rely on the prince to command the battle!" ”

Hearing that there was still foreign aid, Prince Bao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a deep fear in his eyes when he looked at Huang Zhengyuan.

Huang Zhengyuan is obviously so young, and he is not as sharp as Xu Rui, but he is full of momentum in the overall situation, from suddenly appearing to persuade King Yu to stab King Su to death with his own hands, to issuing an order at a critical moment to stabilize the army's heart, and then to arranging many backhands in advance.

In just half a day, this young man, who had not been conspicuous in the past, had completely conquered the high-ranking Prince Bao.

"This man is a poisonous snake, so he will have to be very careful in the future."

Prince Bao instinctively sensed his danger, and such a thought popped into his head.

On the way out of the palace, the King of Liao had an iron face and was full of murderous energy.

Obviously, he was only one step away from being able to break through the South Study and ascend to the throne of Chao Si Du Wang, but Wang Yi suddenly withdrew when the situation was very good, and the remaining tens of thousands of horse soldiers were greatly damaged, and they had become the end of the crossbow.

In addition, the army that rushed to aid King Yu came too fast, and the three thousand pioneers had already arrived at the north gate of the palace, and Wang Shunde's left and right dragon guards totaled 100,000 troops at the same time, heading towards the palace.

The front of the forbidden army defense line could not be quickly breached, and a large number of enemy reinforcements came quickly, if he didn't want to be blocked in the middle and die, even if the Liao King had to give up the emperor dream in front of him even if he was unwilling.

Fortunately, under Du Ruo's persuasion, the King of Liao quickly came to his senses, and instead of being burned unconscious by the anger of Meimeng, he decisively ordered the whole army to withdraw from the palace and go to join the follow-up men and horses, temporarily giving up the emperor's dream that was close at hand.

However, after all, it was the closest to the throne in decades, and even King Liao's ass had been sitting on the dragon chair of the Zhenwu Hall for a long time, no matter how rational he was, the resentment in his heart was as indelible as a surging river.

What's even worse is that the crisis of the Liaowang Group is far more than that.

Du Ruo sat on his horse, looking at the army whose morale had dropped to the bottom, and the worry in his heart became more and more intense.

Even if the temporary withdrawal from the palace can preserve the hope of seizing the heir, but if it continues to develop like this, the army will soon fall apart, and then the king of Liao can only get farther and farther away from the throne, and his plans for more than 20 years will also be in vain.

After thinking for a long time, Du Ruo suddenly stepped forward and said to King Liao: "Lord, it's time to ascend the throne!" ”

"What?"

King Liao, who was secretly angry, suddenly heard this, and he didn't react, and looked at Du Ruo suspiciously.

"Enthroned Lord, since the first emperor died, you should ascend the throne!"

Du Ruo patiently explained.

King Liao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Yes, the fourth child can ascend the throne, why can't this king succeed?" ”

Du Ruo said: "There has been a lot of scuffle in the palace, and the situation outside is unknown, so we can say that the Holy Lord passed the throne to you, but King Yu suddenly mutinied, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and then called on the whole country to jointly crusade against King Yu."

Lord Wang, although King Yu is currently guarding the palace city and taking away the remaining men and horses of the twelve guards of the Beijing Division, after all, his foundation is still shallow, and many of the local officials have been promoted by us. ”

"Well said!"

The King of Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, if he said that the decisive battle in the capital now, the victory or defeat was only between five and five, but if the support of the local government was added, then King Yu would only be a light commander even if he succeeded to the throne, and even if the King of Liao really did not win this battle, he would be the final winner.

"Huh? Look, Lord Wang! ”

At this time, the army just arrived in front of the palace gate, and Du Ruo saw more than a dozen people slowly walking towards the palace gate from a distance.

The King of Liao looked in the direction of Du Ruo's finger, and saw that these dozen or so people were burly, but they were all dressed in linen and filial piety, and they were all plain, and when they looked at it again, their brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Those old generals who seem to be idle at home, and the leader is ...... It's Liu Yi! ”

Du Ruo also saw the appearance of those people clearly, and immediately exclaimed.

"Liu Yi? What is he doing here at this time, could it be that Xu Rui is about to be killed? ”

King Liao frowned, and when he mentioned Xu Rui, a trace of history suddenly flashed on his face.

"Just ask?"

Du Ruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand at the people around him.

A personal soldier jumped out, rushed forward to stop Liu Yi and the others, negotiated for a moment on both sides, and then rushed to the king of Liao.

"Lord Wang!"

The soldiers jumped off their horses and said with a shocked face: "Lord Qiqi, General Liu said that there was news from the palace, saying that the first emperor had issued an edict, saying that the throne would be passed to King Su, but King Yu colluded with Prince Bao and Wang Shun to murder the saint, not to mention, and stabbed King Su to death with his own hands, General Liu Lao They came to mourn the first emperor and King Su!" ”

"What did you say?!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Du Ruo's eyes widened, but after only a moment, he immediately came to his senses and said excitedly to King Liao: "Lord Wang, the destiny of heaven returns, the destiny of heaven returns!" ”

Before the King of Liao could recover from this shocking news, he looked at him with a blank face and said, "What destiny?" ”

Du Ruo said: "Lord, once this matter spreads, King Yu will be attacked by the world, don't you just ascend the throne in the name of revenge, and then call on the world to deal with King Yu together?" ”

When the King of Liao heard this, he exclaimed: "That's right! In this case, why worry about the army's unstable heart?! ”
